I'm not sure either, as there aren't any Squire basses.  There are lots of Squier basses, though.

I beg to differ!  ;D

I couldn't afford a Dingwall, but I did put together a fanfret, and that's my other keeper from the Embassy.  I get a lot of comments on the sound.

Nice colors on that Super J/P.

Thanks! Sheldon calls this color "Bronze Age". In person, it's like a deeper, bolder Shoreline Gold. I've been focusing on playing fan-fret only lately, but I still have a couple of mono-scaled basses that my fingers just won't let go of yet.  ;)

For me, a scruffy 76 Thunderbird that has it where it counts would be last-man-standing if it ever comes to that:



Hands down, the best sounding Bicentennial bird I ever owned or played. It was hard to sell that one, but I have two that are sentimental keepers so I had to let it go. The saving grace for me was that it found such a loving home.
